Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bulls stay hopeful below $23.00

Silver remains on the recovery mode, reversing late Friday’s pullback.
Sustained break of 100-SMA, firmer RSI favor bulls.
Three-week-old horizontal area, 200-SMA become strong resistances to watch.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Silver (XAG/USD) begins the trading week with an uptick to near $22.70. The bright metal poked the highest levels since mid-September the previous day before easing from $23.20.

Even so, the quote’s ability to stay beyond the 100-SMA amid firmer RSI conditions helps the commodity buyers to stay hopeful.

However, a short-term horizontal area precedes the 200-SMA, respectively around $23.15-25, to challenge the XAG/USD bulls before giving them controls.

Following that, $24.00 and $24.30 may probe the upside momentum prior to highlighting the last month’s peak near $24.85.

Meanwhile, pullback moves remain less destructive until silver prices remain beyond the 100-SMA level of $22.47.

Also acting as the downside filter is the previous resistance line from September 07, near $21.80 by the press time.

GBP/USD loses momentum, flirts with 1.3200

GBP/USD is struggling to maintain its positive bias on Thursday, retreating toward the 1.3200 region in response to the pick in the buying interest around the Greenback.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
